Jeremiah 27

1In the beginning of the reignH4467 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, came this wordH1697 unto JeremiahH3414 from Jehovah, sayingH559, 2ThusH3541 saith Jehovah to me: MakeH5414 thee bonds and barsH4133, and putH5414 them upon thy neckH6677; 3and sendH7971 them to the kingH4428 of EdomH123, and to the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and to the kingH4428 of the children of AmmonH5983, and to the kingH4428 of TyreH6865, and to the kingH4428 of SidonH6721, by the handH3027 of the messengersH4397 that comeH935 to JerusalemH3389 unto ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063: 4and give them a charge unto their mastersH113, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ThusH3541 shall ye sayH559 unto your mastersH113: 5I have madeH6213 the earthH776, the menH120 and the beasts that are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776, by my greatH1419 power and by my outstretchedH5186 armH2220; and I giveH5414 it unto whom it seemeth right unto me. 6And nowH6258 have I givenH5414 all these landsH776 into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650; and the beasts of the fieldH7704 alsoH1571 have I givenH5414 him to serveH5647 him. 7And all the nationsH1471 shall serveH5647 him, and his sonH1121, and his son’sH1121 sonH1121, until the timeH6256 of his own landH776 comeH935: and then manyH7227 nationsH1471 and greatH1419 kingsH4428 shall make him their bondman. 8And it shall come to pass, that the nationH1471 and the kingdomH4467 which will not serveH5647 the same NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and that will not putH5414 their neckH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, that nationH1471 will I punishH6485, saith Jehovah, with the swordH2719, and with the famineH7458, and with the pestilenceH1698, until I have consumed them by his handH3027. 9But as for you, hearken ye not to your prophetsH5030, nor to your divinersH7080, nor to your dreamsH2472, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, that speak unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: 10for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you, to removeH7368 you farH7368 from your landH127, and that I should driveH5080 you out, and ye should perishH6. 11But the nationH1471 that shall bringH935 their neckH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and serveH5647 him, that nationH1471 will I let remainH3427 in their own landH127, saith Jehovah; and they shall till it, and dwellH3427 therein.

12And I spake to ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 according to all these wordsH1697, sayingH559, BringH935 your necksH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and serveH5647 him and his peopleH5971, and liveH2421. 13WhyH4100 will ye dieH4191, thou and thy peopleH5971, by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698, as Jehovah hath spokenH1696 concerningH413 the nationH1471 that will not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894? 14And hearken not unto the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that speak unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894; for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you. 15For I have not sentH7971 them, saith Jehovah, but they prophesyH5012 falsely in my nameH8034; that I may driveH5080 you out, and that ye may perishH6, ye, and the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you.

16Also I spake to the priestsH3548 and to all this peopleH5971, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Hearken not to the wordsH1697 of your prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you, sayingH559, Behold, the vesselsH3627 of Jehovah’s houseH1004 shall nowH6258 shortly be broughtH7725 again from BabylonH894; for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you. 17Hearken not unto them; serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and liveH2421: wherefore should this cityH5892 becomeH1961 a desolationH2723? 18But if they be prophetsH5030, and if the wordH1697 of Jehovah be with them, let them now make intercession to Jehovah of hostsH6635, that the vesselsH3627 which are leftH3498 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and in the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and at JerusalemH3389, goH935 not to BabylonH894. 19For thusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635 concerning the pillarsH5982, and concerning the seaH3220, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vesselsH3627 that are leftH3498 in this cityH5892, 20which NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 tookH3947 not, whenH834 he carried away captive JeconiahH3204 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894, and all the nobles of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389; 21yea, thusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, concerning the vesselsH3627 that are leftH3498 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and in the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and at JerusalemH3389: 22They shall beH1961 carried to BabylonH894, and there shall they beH1961, until the dayH3117 that I visitH6485 them, saith Jehovah; then will I bringH935 them up, and restoreH7725 them to this placeH4725.
